Morning all! In synch with the mood-lifting Eau Ressourcante
by Clarins. Gorgeous combination of basil, lemon, iris, benzoin and cedar
keeping it natural and simple. I love to wear this on hot summer days or after a
bath/shower to relax me and make me feel I can cope with anything.

Re: SotD: Friday 3rd May, '13

Good morning everyone! I'm a crazy woman trying to tie up all my loose ends before I leave in a week. There are too many, I'm not sure I can get them all... I'm hoping this weekend to make a dent in my lists.

Quarry, you need to teach a class in loving yourself and loving your life.

I'm testing Jo Malone's Wild Fig & Cassis today. Oh my goodness is this green, green, chop up a fig tree, green. When I first put it on I was a little put off, but it's mellowing a bit. It's no longer punching me in the nose and I'm starting to warm to it.

Happy Friday well smelling Besenoters. Cheers

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Good morning everyone -

I'm in Gucci No1, vintage-70s edt. Y'all have a great day!

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...Carl Sagan

Happy Friday, everyone! It's a beautiful sunny day shaping up outside. Planning to check on all my perennials today to see if anything is starting to come up. There hasn't been anything so far, too cold. Can't wait for the lily of the valley and the irises to come up.

Hi all,

Well it's been a long, tough week, but finally it's over, and..... TGIF!!!! Been feeling rather feverish & shaky at work today, & still sneezing & sniffling, but l am now collapsed on the sofa with no intention of going anywhere until tomorrow night. Let's hope the beautiful weather will hang around for Sunday, at least!

SOTD was DK Gold, & l might spritz something else in a bit...

I really like the sound of this, kewart - looks well priced too. On the weekend sampling list !.

Already popped the cork here. About to hit the patio with a glass of gewürztraminer and bowl of mixed olives. Binoculars at the ready too as the Red Kites are soaring obligingly low here today.

Poor Mr. Twolf! Hope he doesn't come down with it as badly as Mrs. You two deserve a break!

Synced in Jasminora today, just back from seeing the annual live butterfly display at our botanical conservatory. So beautiful but I was aggravated to see not only children but also adults touching and grabbing the butterflies' wings. Very bad news for the little beauties when this happens. We're even reminded not to touch by the caretakers. Some people just don't belong out in public, was very sad to see this behavior.

But on a happier note, spring seems to have finally found Indiana, yay! Hugs to everyone!

Edit: Oops, where is my mind?! Meant to send healing hugs to teardrop! Sounds like you need to tuck in for a long rest, dear sweetie.
